WIFI AND BLUETOOTH
Why do wifi and Bluetooth need to be left on ALL the time?
-
-
Having wifi turned on and connected to privatecps is crucial for all learning tasks that are done on iPads.
-
Having wifi turned on is crucial for pinging iPads – we can’t help you locate a missing iPad if wifi is turned off.
-
Having wifi on and cellular data enabled is required 24/7, no matter where you are.
-
Having Bluetooth turned on is required while you are at school.
-
Uh oh, my iPad is low because I forgot to charge it last night!
-
Should I turn off Bluetooth or wifi or use Airplane mode to make the charge last longer?
-
NO!!! That will not make a difference, and there is wifi in every classroom.
-
You can disconnect your Bluetooth earbuds instead of turning Bluetooth off; this might save a bit of charge, but not very much.
-
-
If your iPad is low, get permission to use a classroom charging station.
-
Or get a pass to the media center, and they will charge your iPad.
What if I’m going on an airplane and I have to use Airplane mode, which turns off the wifi and cellular data?
-
Going on an airplane is the ONLY time that you are allowed to use Airplane mode.

However, taking your school iPad with you on vacation is not recommended!

Leave your school iPad at home while traveling and take your electronics with you.
